Description

Resonating with the ethos of open dialogue and the experimentation of women artists' collectives in the 1970s and 1980s, Of Other Spaces constructs a dynamic, open, and collaborative arena that foregrounds practices of resistance, collectivity, and self-organization. Highlighting the inherent seditiousness that animates feminist thinking, the book seeks out the lodestone of a volatile politics that calls for and instigates urgent alternatives to the cultural, political, and economic machineries of power that haunt this world. The book documents an exhibition and symposium that brought together women artists, writers, and thinkers.Contributors 12, Anne Bean, James Bell, Laura Edbrook & Sarah Forrest, Rose English, Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt, Althea Greenan, Margaret Harrison, Sophia Yadong Hao, Susan Hiller, Amelia Jones, Mary Kelly, Alexandra Kokoli, Linder, Kirsty Logan, Katherine Maynell, Lynda Morris, Laura Mulvey, Annabel Nicolson, Adele Patrick, Cullinan Richards, Su Richardson, Monica Ross, Hannah O'Shea, Catherine Spencer, Georgina Starr, Marina Vishmidt
